Finest Radio Ltd was created 27.6.2013 in Finland and it is private and independent, first Estonian radio station in Finland. Finest FM brings Estonia to Finnish radio waves! Earlier Finest FM was heard only through the Internet but since 7.1.2013 it can be heard in southern Finland frequency 102,0 MHz. Recently the number of Estonians who permanently lives in Finland has been growing fast. To Estonians it is easy to adapt in Finland, because language relative is easy to learn, Estonians are conscientious workers and they are willing to work in those jobs, which are not particularly popular in Finnish.“Sharing the Estonian language and culture in Finland is only in the hands of the Estonians and our own radio station is one way to help along with it. It’s not a secret that there are many Finns who still maintain a certain prejudice about Estonian immigrants, which can make a life harder for the latter. This bias has been caused by unfortunate stories in media, which usually only describe local Estonians when committing a crime or causing a traffic accident, thus creating a negative image. Our mission is to prove ourselves and talk about the successful, hard-working expats, therefore changing the negative attitude about Estonian expats in Finland – not only among the Finns, but among Estonians themselves, too. There are many positive stories which we want to talk about,” the team behind Finest FM reasoned the main motive behind it.

This is one good example of it – Estonians own radio and the portal in Finland! Channel reach for especially those Estonians who are living or working in Finland. Channel music selection is 1980 and 90’s hits and new music from Estonia and around the world. Channel has also news and current issues from both Finland and Estonia. Finest FM’s second studio is located in Tartu, Estonia. Finest FM gives Estonians living in Finland opportunity to talk about their achievements, as well as to solve the public problems of Estonians and find answers to their questions. The program “Our life in Finland” which airs on Sundays at 15 – 16, studio guests tells their story about moving in to Finland, their process of adaption, everyday life, bureaucratic struggles, families and hobbies.
